Steele Woman Charged For Forgery

A North Dakota woman has been charged with forgery for allegedly cutting herself a $250,000 check on the dime of a cooperative in Linton.

Forty-year-old Michelle Biegler was charged this week with felony forgery. Mandan police were notified after KEM Electric reported a forged check on its bank account.

A police investigation found that Biegler was an employee of a Mandan-based company and had access to the KEM’s account information. She allegedly used that information to forge a check worth a quarter of a million dollars.

Biegler allegedly took the check to a bank in Steele and used part of the money to purchase a home. The rest was deposited in a bank account.

The Steele woman is being held at Morton County Correctional Center.
